Hilda Nitchman Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Born August 19, 1937 in Gettysburg, she was a daughter of the late Cornelius H. and Alvertia E. (May) Nitchman.
Ms. Nitchman was a charitable, generous, quiet soul. She loved animals, especially her beloved cats, Tiger, Corky and Tuggy. Her friends remember her as always looking out for others and always staying very aware of what was going on in the world. She had a strong moral compass and channeled that into her charitable giving. She also loved the Lord, and was a member of St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Hanover.
Hilda is survived by her cherished friends, Ellie & Scott Rebert, Scott & Melissa Braun and Mr. & Mrs. Braun's son, Jacob, as well as Brenda Sloman.
In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by four siblings: John Nitchman, Clark Nitchman, Charlotte Mummert and Janet Hoffacker, as well as her beloved companion, John Hale
